[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know any women who would be interested in an economically unattractive male except for economically unattractive females. Women generally like to pair up with people in a similar position or better. [/quote]

True, but therein lies the problem.  Just as women are primarily attracted to intelligent providers, men are attracted primarily to looks.  So just because a woman becomes educated and earns good money doesn't make her more likely to land one of the few educated, attractive men unless she is at least baseline attractive too.

The end result is that many women over-estimate their dating value and end up chasing after the same pool of men.

Said men all end up cheating anyway since there are still many single women competing for them even after they marry.

So ends my jaded view of all of this.[/quote]

+1 I see this firsthand. A 32 yo  nice looking guy with a great education,  job and earnings is "hunted" by a very large pool of aggressive women- ranging in age from 21 to 45. Most of these women have NOTHING  to offer but sex (why would a single guy want the 35 yr old divorced mother of 3?) , so why should he marry a 30 year old, educated, attractive woman when he can keep getting sex with no responsibilities?

I tell my son, keep playing & you will end up with a trash bag baby momma & the quality 30 yr old  won't want you anymore.
